교육 공간으로서 학교 공간, 자연 공간, 가상 공간의 융합 공간 연구

Objectives The purpose of this study is to study the convergence space of school space, natural space, and virtual space as an educational space focused on the Lefebvre's spatial theory.
 Methods In this study, Lefebvre's spatial theory was selected as the analysis framework and the collected data were analyzed focusing on the spatial practice, spatial representation, and reproduction space of the Lefebvre's spatial theory.
 Results First, the characteristics and limitations of school space as a recent educational space are as follows. The characteristics of school space are the space where control of education and learner's autonomy coexist in the context of spatial practice, the space where the government led of education and the initiative of the learner coexist in the context of spatial representation, and the space where the knowledge transfer of education and learner's activity coexist in the context of reproduction space. The limitations of school space were found to identify school space as a specific physical space, the influence of the educational system on school space, and to limit the members of school space to teachers and students. Second, the characteristics and possibilities of natural space and virtual space as an alternative educational space are as follows. The characteristics of natural space and virtual space appeared as a space of motivation for learning from the spatial practice, a learning space of community from the spatial representation, and a learning space of interaction from the reproduction space. The possibilities of natural space and virtual space appeared as new educational spaces from the spatial practice, the possibility of qualitative improvement from the reproduction space, and the possibility of participation of various educational members from the reproduction space. Third, the characteristics and directions of the convergence space of school space, natural space, and virtual space as a future educational space are as follows. The characteristics of the convergence space are a curious learning space through the physical connection of education space and learning spaces from the spatial practice, a self-directed learning space through the systematic connection of education space and learning spaces from the spatial representation, and a creative experiential learning space through experiential connection of education space and learning spaces from the reproduction space. The direction of the convergence space appeared as a space of restoration of relationships for coexistence as a historical space.
 Conclusions First, a discourse centered on learners and instructors is required in the process of constructing a convergence space of school space, natural space, and virtual space in the educational field. Second, the establishment of policies is required in the process of applying the convergence space of school space, natural space, and cyberspace in the educational field. Third, the development of curriculum and education methods is required in the process of applying the convergence space of school space, natural space, and cyberspace in the educational field.

디자인적 사고를 적용한 실시간 쌍방향 원격수업이 영재학생과 일반학생의 집단 창의성에 미치는 효과

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interactive distance learning with a design thinking program on the group creativity of gifted and general students.
 Methods For this study, the design thinking program of the 10th session was reconstructed according to the creative experiential learning club activity class. And, from June to December 2020, real-time interactive distance learning were conducted with 10 gifted students and 10 general students from middle schools located in Gyeonggi-do, and the effect of group creativity was investigated.
 Results It was found that the group creativity of gifted students and general students increased significantly. Among the attributes of group creativity, gifted students showed a statistically significant increase in ‘shared a common goal’ and ‘appropriate cohesion through dispersion and integration’. And, general students showed a statistically significant increase in all attributes of group creativity except ‘equal interaction’, ‘shared a common goal’, ‘spontaneous innovation’, and ‘appropriate cohesion through dispersion and integration’.
 Conclusions Therefore, it was confirmed that the application of the design thinking program through real-time interactive distance learning helped both gifted students and general students to improve group creativity, and it was analyzed that the effect was greater especially for general students.

Institutional correlates of public service motivation: family, religion, and high school education

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to provide empirical evidence of the extent to which social institutions play a role in the development of public service motivation (PSM). This study investigates institutional factors affecting first-year undergraduate students’ PSM, focusing on family, religion, and high school education in Korea. It uses two-wave survey data collected from first-year undergraduate students at a public university in Korea (n = 202). The test results show that parental teaching and participation in extracurricular activities (creative experiential learning activities) are positively associated with overall PSM and most of its individual dimensions, and religion is positively associated with the dimension of commitment to public values. This study provides support for the process theory holding that PSM is influenced by social institutions throughout an individual’s childhood and adolescence. The implications and limitations of this study are also discussed.

Cultural Exposure as a Creative Experiential Learning Intervention

ABSTRACT Counselor education programs often use cultural immersion as a creative pedagogical approach to foster cultural responsiveness. This form of experiential learning can instill and deepen multicultural and social justice counseling competencies. The purpose of this article is to highlight the potential of a domestic immersion experience as a creative experiential learning intervention by outlining one counselor education program’s experience using a brief cultural immersion trip over the course of three years. The author highlights the importance of using experiential learning to instill cultural responsiveness, describes the cultural immersion trip, and discusses applications for counselor education programs seeking to implement a cultural immersion experience.

Leadership for Instructional Improvement

Effectively integrating creative experiential learning opportunities into classroom-based science instruction to enhance students’ applied learning continues to be a challenge for many middle school educators. This article explores how educators in one urban middle school leveraged design research thinking in conjunction with collaborative data-teaming processes to develop a targeted professional learning intervention program to help seventh- and eighth-grade teachers learn how to integrate Makerspace hands-on experiential and project-based learning activities into their STEM instructional practices to better engage students in applied science learning in middle school classrooms. A literature-informed discussion is included on how the middle school principal and the school’s instructional improvement team utilized focused professional development activities and intensive Professional Learning Community (PLC) conversations to positively transform teachers’ pedagogical mindsets and instructional practices in support of integrating Makerspace and related project-based experiential learning opportunities as valuable components of classroom-based science teaching and learning. Finally, a number of design principles derived from the middle school case study highlighted in this article are offered that may be of practical use to school leaders interested in applying educational design research methods to enhance their own campus-based instructional improvement efforts.

Effects of virtual reality on creative design performance and creative experiential learning

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of teaching via virtual reality (VR) on creative design performance and creative experiential learning processes by using a pretest–post-test nonequivalent group design to sample 138 seventh graders from a junior high school in Taipei City. The main conclusions from this study are: (1) VR has significant positive effects on creative design processes, particularly in the design and planning, testing and revision and thoughts and appreciation stages. (2) VR has significant positive effects on creative design outcomes, with high- and low-level effects on creative design and functional appropriateness, respectively. (3) The learning process for VR and creative experiential learning shifts from concrete experiences to reflective observations, abstract conceptualization and, finally, innovative applications. Behaviors of reflective observation and innovative application are active and vital to the performance of creative processes and outcomes.
